ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Hi, I’m Dee and this is Politea with Dee, the show where I try to make sense of Irish politics so you don’t have to. Think of it as the gossip column for the Dáil: who’s arguing with who, what the government’s actually up to, and why it all matters (kind of). I’ll break down the big issues like housing, climate, referendums, scandals and put it in plain English, with a few jokes along the way. If politics usually feels like watching paint dry, this is the fresh coat you’ll actually want to listen to.
